Order Fanconi Anemia Carrier Test | FA CarrierFanconi anemia is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome that affects multiple body systems. Carriers of the condition do not develop the disease themselves, but they can pass the associated gene variant to their children. This test examines two specific variants in the FANCC gene that are linked to Fanconi anemia, type C.
About Fanconi Anemia Carrier Test | FA Carrier in Greer
Fanconi anemia type C is caused by variants in the FANCC gene.
Fanconi anemia is a rare genetic disorder characterized by bone marrow failure, physical abnormalities, and an elevated risk of certain cancers. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning that a person must inherit two copies of a disease-causing variant, one from each parent, to be affected.
The FANCC gene provides instructions for a protein involved in repairing damaged DNA. The two variants detected by this test, IVS4+4A>T and 322delG, are among the most studied changes in this gene. The IVS4+4A>T variant affects how the gene's instructions are assembled, while 322delG removes a small piece of genetic code.
Carriers have one altered copy of the FANCC gene and one normal copy. They typically do not have Fanconi anemia, but they can pass the altered gene to their children. If both parents are carriers, each pregnancy has a one in four chance of resulting in an affected child. This test can help identify carriers and confirm a diagnosis in individuals who show symptoms.
